What to know about Customs brokers
Post-Brexit, a customs broker is one of the few genuinely new categories of service British businesses buy. Before 2021 a company selling into France or importing from Poland filed nothing; now every one of those movements needs a declaration, and most traders pay somebody else to make it. HMRC calls that somebody a customs representative and treats brokers, freight forwarders and express operators as different flavours of the same function.
